Mods, can we have a sticky for reviews? This forum is getting a bit messy with all the traffic at the moment. I'm assuming that if Gamespy are reviewing it then we can look forward to plenty more. I hope Game Revolution review it.

Nice review.. although i find it odd that they claim the english is horrid, in my eyes it is far from it.. quite good in fact.. but i dunno, i suppose they had to make up something to fault it for to prevent a perfect score

Hi Imperial Dane - are you getting this soon or what? I kinda feel guilty that I'm about to start playing when I know you're a huge fan of the demo like me.

I haven't noticed a real problem with the dialogue either, and I'm a high school English teacher. This is an excellent review. This game will do really well once people realise how much fun it is.

I do find some of the dialogue sounds a little awkward at times, but far from horrid.

Our local Belgian magazine gave King's Bounty - The Legend a score of 85 (which is high for their standards!!!)

Pro's : Fantastic combat, good dialogs, nice & interesting world
Con's : First impression is 'weak' (dont agree with that one), no multiplayer or skirmisch (not required for an adventure/RTS imho)

Final verdict:
a juwel that can be very addictive. Fans know what to do

I like the fact that they don't turn down the dialogs (translations) in this review, instead they even like them. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that we're quite multilingual in Belgium but this also states that other reviews might be wrong about the translations (which are in my opinion very good).

I'll not type the whole review here as that would be against the law here. But at least you know what they feel about the game.

I think it might have something to do with that.. well that and just being pedantic methinks I mean i've not have any real gripes with the dialogues, sure there is some bad grammar here and there, but nothing that damages the impression of the game.

But it's nice to see all the good reviews out there

theres loads of grammar mistakes in the demo but nothing major and i wasnt expecting a good story.

i agree the game needs a combat auto resolve as well..it is annoying having to fight a bunch of flowers that just wastes time and can see that being much worse in the full game.

great score though, gamespy usually are quite harsh on reviews compared to like ign and gamespot.
